Wonderful meals and drinks, completely lived up to expectation. We had the lamb burger and the Thai beef salad. Both were good, the salad was excellent. Service was friendly and fast and helpful. The chips on the side of the burger were done of the tastiest I have ever had. Do try the iced tea with rose water and lychees; it was a tall glass of chill and refreshment... subtle flavour that was perfect for summer dining. The views across pumice stone passage are lovely especially at sunset. It was a bit noisy from traffic, sitting right opposite the Caloundra esplanade but worth the small inconvenience. Beachside dining at its best.
We have just got picked up our dinner and so happy. On a crazy night with markets on and thousands of people out and about, we thought the wait would be over an hour, told 35mins and received our dinner in 20min. Really nice food, fast service. Would recommend for easy fish and chips . Thanks
I've been here several times over the years and the food is always great as is the service.
This coastal Vancouver, Canadian girl loves her seafood and I'd recommend this to everyone�
Awesome post valentines breakfast poached eggs were perfect the breakfast as a whole was yum and well presented not to mention the friendly staff
Beautiful breakfast, eggs bene, corn fritters & pancakes all delicious, great view & coffee too�
Went in for breakfast on the 25 November. Only a few customers in. Fast service. Put a table together for us (We had 8 + Bub) only too happy to help. The waitress brought out some coloring in for out children which kept them happy until our meals arrived. Big meals, cooked perfectly & good price. I will be back again!!
Great service, great food and great view. Cannot fault. Will definitely go again and again.
Excellent food and excellent Service! I love this place and the linguine with prawns and soft shell crab is sensational!
Great food and excellent service A+ best fish and chips I have had in a long time!
Our second visit on two separate trips to Caloundra and Sandbar didn’t disappoint. Fish was fresh and tasty – perhaps a little on the small side, but then again I did have to share with a toddler who loved the fish and ate more than he normally would! The chips were fresh and very tasty and we loved that they came with dipping sauces – a nice touch that other stores should adopt! The aioli was really good, very creamy, as was the tartare sauce. They were fairly quick to deliver our dinner and would not hesitate to go back again.
Best pasta dish I have ever had! Without a lie! The soft shell crab linguini was to die for. Service was also great and accommodated is with our new born baby. Wish I lived up here to be able to return to this restaurant. Credit to the chef.
Great food, friendly service and good location. The Korean chicken wings were delicious. Also enjoyed the burger and salmon cakes. I would definitely eat here again.
Nice setting on the promenade with limited outside seating so you can watch the world pass. Good coffee and vego breakkies. Their corn fritters with chili jam, rocket, bacon etc is my fave dish here.
First time back at the Sandbar in two years and we have been delighted with the fare. Crispy tempura prawns with a delicious ponzu sauce and pork croquettes were hot and tasty. Washing it all down with an Innocent Bystander Prosecco made for a great night.
We visited Sandbar on New Years Day, service was quite slow since it was mid afternoon and not busy however food was good.
Sensational! Do yourself a favour!. Like many others we escaped Brizzy this weekend while the G20 was on and went up to Caloundra. Booked a table at this venue as we had seen a good review in "Salt" quite a while ago and were keen to check it out. We were greeted by Steve (co-owner) with "happy anniversary" as we had put that on the booking. He called us by our names all evening, despite it being really busy, and made us feel really special. We had oysters Kilpatrick for entrée which were lovely: plump and tasty. I had the Shredded Duck Leg Salad which was absolutely delicious. True to form hubby looked through the entire menu then ordered steak, the eye fillet. He eats a lot of steak and said this was one of the best, if not THE best, steak he had ever had - cooked to perfection (medium) and melt in your mouth! Customer service = excellent, menu choices and food = excellent. We were too full to try a dessert so will be back. Do yourself a favour and get down there!
I had the chicken burger with chips & carrot/apple/ginger juice, very nice and just over $20, great friendly service & the best views from sitting in the undercover verandah with open blinds/sea breeze coming through.
Diana. We had brekky at The Sandbar & was pleasantly suprised with the coffee. Nice full bodied flavour & creamy. A little disapointed in the corncakes though, they were raw inside & overdone on the outside. The partner's ommelette he commented was great however. The best view ever from this cafe though & the service was great
Crunch, crunch, crunch!!!. Crunch, crunch, crunch... this is what you hear, feel and taste as you devour your serve of the best beer battered chips (I have ever enjoyed) = spectacular!!!
Oh, I should mention the location is superb across from Bulcock Beach, fish burgers are really nice, and the coffee is pretty good also.
I work in the area and often come here after work to catch up with friends. I find the food really good and i would say is priced within a normal range for waterfront venues. What makes this place worth visiting its is lovely little atmosphere and lovely staff. They'll always have me coming back because of the service.
Excellent!!. Went here for breakfast, absolutely delicious. Perfect poached eggs and top notch coffee. Service was also great - highly recommend it!
Great food and great service!
Best place in caloundra to go for coffee and cake!!! Great service stunning view and delicious coffee :) thankyou sandbar!!!! I always leave a very happy customer-look forward to my next visit :D
My partner and I went for diner. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My pork belly main, and her chocolate tasting plate desert were FANTASTIC.. Very friendly manager and reasonable prices.. We'll come back
Delicious fish. We had takeaway fish and chips. Was also hesitant due to the rating on urbanspoon but a friend had recommended it. The crumbed whiting was delicious. It was crispy and tasted fresh. The beer battered chips were reasonably tasty, but a tad bit soft.
We also had the asianslaw and greek salad. The asianslaw was different was quite fresh. The tomato in the greek salad was a bit soft.
Seafood and eat it!. Won a voucher to here through Tourism Queensland and I must say I was not dissapointed. Situated across the road from Bulcock Beach, this cafe/restaurant is ideally located and has a peaceful cruisy atmosphere. We ordered the Oysters Kilpatrick and Fire Prawns for entree and the Steak and Prawns and Mezze Platter for main and both were beautifully presented and tasted awesome! The smoothies and iced teas were refreshing as well. Would definitely visit again as the service was great!
Wonderful food and service. A great find, great staff with personality. And the cakes are to die for.
Really really good! Was dubious becAuse of the ratings here on urban spoon, but everything turned out fantastic! A table of 5 and we were all really happy with our meals. Great value and high quality restaurant food.
